Did a little bit of tweaking today (only a few hours, not like the day before… which was a 8 hour ‘session’)

the ‘interesting’ thing is… the following PNG images (and like the RV-BG jpg) are not subject to any ‘Slow Down’ of Navigation Speed.

video_encoding_bg.png

video_option_bg.png

video_browse_gallery_overlay.png

I have replaced them with image (eg. the background “List” wall in list view) with an image nearly 10x to 50x the file size … and it does not have any effect on the navigation speed.

If i  "rename’ the image something else like  …     list_background_wall.png

Everything dramatically slows down by a significant amount … (it is so slow, it’s unworkable)

Tried the ‘Reverse’ as well …made an image ‘smaller’ than the default … but if it’s named ‘differently’

and it’s mega slow.  Then rename it to one of the ‘above’ … then navigation is fast and smooth again.

It Seems to me that these ‘File Names’ have a ‘set’ Priority in the Osd Firmware.   (*that’s my best guess anyways*)

So with this new knowledge, ive begun ‘redoing’ and ‘improving’ some other views and things…

P.S. Anybody think the Music Cd Cover should be positioned on the ‘Floor’ like the “Movie Poster” ?

If yes then i will add a Reflection to it.


P.P.S Im thinking, it should or would look better positioned on the Floor.

Hey Joey,

I just thought I’d let you know that I use this method in both Mojo and Voodoo to display different overlays.  Each view uses a different overlay and has a different name for each and I haven’t found that there is any slow down.

However, I have found that (while designing Voodoo) if you build on top of the osd Mochi theme and change images, that the HUB will slow down and you have to reboot the HUB for the speed to return to normal.

But as far as having a slow down with renamed overlays, I haven’t seen it.

Great work by the way.

Also Joey,

Here’s a little trick for your Home screen.  If your not displaying the Time or Weather for any of your screens, then instead of adding an image to the home xml for your menu’s background, try this.

First make a copy of the the “decoration.xml”, then rename the copy to “decoration_home.xml”, then open it up and delete the line “<include filename=”./inc_weather.xml />". and change “…/inc_time.xml”  to “…/inc_time_home.xml”.

Now make a copy of “inc_time.xml” and then rename the copy to “inc_time_home.xml”.  Then open it up and delete everything but the line:
   

And then give it the same position values as your “home_bar.png”.

Then open the “rv_home.xml” and delete your “home_bar.png” image line and add the line:

  

And then rename your “home_bar” image to “main_current_time_bg.png”.

This will make the image disappear when you open the dashboard so that you don’t see it behind the dashboard, and may also speed up the menu navigation.

HI Joey

I reckon music CD cover would be better with reflection to replicate ‘on the floor’.

Also, whilst having a more studied look of the pics, i have noticed a couple of things-

  1. Mini dvd/cd covers when in movie/ music list view!! Very clever and a nice touch.

  2. Dynamic music backdrops!!! GREAT but…

    Where is this information being pulled from? wasn’t aware that this could be done for music metadata?

     How many more tricks have you up that sleeve!! LOL

Joey - pretty amazing stuff you’ve got going!!! Personally, this is probably the best-looking theme yet. Although I am not into moviesheets right now - too much hazzle - I must admit, with this theme I am tempted !! :slight_smile:

Super!!!

Its superb as usual,

just 2 things:

  1. would like a larger music cover art with reflection

  2. reflections of movies is too much faded & not quite visible

& Also if it is possible would luv a larger music cover art at home screen in now playing mode. 

Maybe it’s the way to combine small moviesheet for additionnal info (rate,fps,audio and video codec) and thumbnail and use the xml info together

I prefer one screen with full info than the “get info” solution

Work in progress for me :slight_smile:

direct link : http://www.flickr.com/photos/patatozor/5685349496/

just need to position the xml info right over the transparent part. the pictures size is between 100-150 ko

more efficient in gallery view :slight_smile:

and there’s place to add specific info in the moviesheet bar

Sorry, but personally I don’t agree with your suggestions for possible mods to Aeon theme!

Architectonic,

my hub is connected to a 46" tv, the size of music art cover in list view is so small that it fails to grab eye while viewing +

the concept of music cover at now playing mode is awesome but bcoz of its size goes unnoticed.

These r just my personal opinions, if only others would agree…

just some drafts with my idea xml info + moviesheet :

direct link : http://www.flickr.com/photos/patatozor/5686182653/

Informations are given by the xml and displayed over the moviesheet. The size of the movisheet is reduced due to this trick and the navigation goes faster
